If after doing a test panel, the light swirls cannot be taken out with let`s say 106 and white or green LC Pad, can i just use the same (used) white pad with IP? wondering if IP with white pad even an option. i`ve never seen or read anyone here use that combo.



thanks from this rotary noob

Maybe you should try a more aggressive pad like an orange pad.

IP on a white pad will work fine. You can usually go up in aggressiveness with the same pad, just not down. Some big abrasives may be left in the pad from a compound that will not go well with a lighter polish.



On another note, be careful if you do use an orange pad with a rotary. I don`t like them at all and I will definitely recommend wool pads. The run cooler, cut faster, and control easier. It may be a good idea to research wool a little. I usually use LC white, black, or blue pads -read soft-. If I need more cut i will use wool.



I would try IP with a white pad first though.

thanks, guys.



funny thing is, the very faint spider-webbings can only be seen in certain angles. you really have to look for them:think2 even on a very sunny day
